  1. Balls I wanted these first time round
  2. I'm sure the NGK platinums are what the manual/Nissan recommends and the Denso iridiums are what Alex sells as an upgrade. I'm pretty sure that's right would be good to get confirmation as the next service il be doing plugs. As for the 530, yes you should have left that behind quite easily.
  3. I'm sure the plugs are meant to be denso iridiums, someone will be along shortly to confirm. Popcharger will just be sucking hot air in so that's losing a bit imo, best thing that's proven power wise for the DE engines are the 2006+ velocity stack mod and a decent panel filter (hks) in the stock airbox Id have it dyno'd just to see what the engine is running like as a whole
  4. A 350Z is capable of keeping with a 46 M3, tbh I find the Z handles better than the M3, certainly out brakes it aswell I'd have yours checked over just incase, they take a while to get used to. Mine did but after the 'bedding in' period I've found it a fantastically rewarding car to drive and own

    Seeing as they are for lhd, do you have to fit it all opposite or is it fitted the same as per the instructions. Just wondering as I'm sure in remember someone saying you had to fit it in reverse basically
  6. Want to say thanks to Sly for doing a great job on my Z last Thursday, had the Whiteline rear subframe kit installed along with Eibach adjustable camber arms and bolts then re aligned to make it spot on. More than competitive price to do the work and will certainly be returning in the future Anyone around the country that isn't to far away or doesn't mind a journey that needs work doing I'd highly recommend going to Kaizer Thanks again Arran
  7. Love it, had mine gloss black wrapped last weekend, getting the windows done soon with led rears, also removed the rear wiper today looks much better
  8. Yet another update for the books, Whilst installing the HSD coilovers I noticed that the rear subframe diff bush was leaking its fluid so thought before i head of to stelvio pass and the nurburgring next month i need to get it sorted. I had the wheel allignment done a week before at Kaizer motors and was hoping Sly wouldnt tell me i needed adjustable camber arms/bolts, but after adjusting the fronts back to normal (even when lowered around 1" or more, so you dont need front camber arms like most believe when lowering the front that much) the rear wouldnt go back beyond 2.5 degress of camber it was at 3.5! So that only meant one thing after talking to Sly about doing the whole lot in one hit, and that was to get on the phone to Mitz at Cougar Store (Again fantastic service from these guys, if anyone does need anything fast and at the best price on the market these guys cant really be beaten imo) to order the Whiteline rear subframe kit and Eibach adjustable camber arms and toe bolts. Booked in with Sly to have it all done and alligned again, Always done alot of research about places before ive taken any of my cars in for work, had a recommendation from Jordan (Smudgedon) that Sly was the man for the work. Certainly proved a great choice as all the work was done perfectly and at a more than competitive price, If anyone needs anywork done no matter what it is I do urge you to get in contact with Kaizer to see what Sly can do, really pleased ive found somewhere i can go to if i need something done thats out of my abillity, Thanks Sly So heres some snaps of it all The car feels so much better to drive now, the coilovers have settled in and ive found a perfect damping setting for handling and comfort. The allignment is spot on so it holds the road perfect and the Whiteline kit has made a nice difference to the way the car shoots out of corners and accelerates as theres very little movement at the back end now, also the gearchange has got a little smoother so thats a bonus! All in all for such an unexpected big bill the car is alot better for it and the handling is unbelievable on it now really happy with it, just aswell for all the money its cost Not long now to the trip, all thats left to do before i go is change the oil, fit rear braided brake and clutch lines, bleed brakes and clutch out with Ate superblue, fit another new rear tyre to match the Conti Sport 3 ive had fitted today (wanted to try MPSS but have Conti's on the front and only needed one rear tyre so will get the MPSS next time round) now one has 8mm and the other 4mm may aswell get another match So updates coming thick and fast, going to debadge the 350Z and delete the rear wiper this weekend to Cheers Arran
  9. Good friend of mine has a complete DE with 25k on the clock of your interested fella, it's out and ready to go
  10. I've got a Megs G220 v2, cut through my previous BMW paint in no time with the correct pad/polish combo
  11. Id probably ask someone like ZMANALEX or abbey motorsport and see what they say
  12. I've just recently put yellowstuff all round with HEL lines and ate superblue fluid, hopefully won't have any problems
  13. I'm going out there end of June, haven't got an specific insurance. Isn't it £££ for it however
  14. Apart from eBay, breakers who sells the 370Z rays? Maybe even the black edition ones. Been looking for a set for ages!
  15. Don't like the new front bumper, doesn't have the 'fangs' of the previous model. Love the wheels though! One in Azure blue please
  16. Grommets are 19 and 25 fella
  17. 19mm nozzle hole and 25mm wiper hole it's in the guide
  18. Just been to halfords to get these grommets, didn't cost a penny as I had 4 quid left on a gift card
  19. Spend half and half, get a lovely Z these days for 7.5k rest can go on the house, need to find somewhere that can get a good deal on tomei stuff as they are just under a grand retail
  20. The new exhaust will be a invidia gemini true dual, so will be mated to my current motordyne art pipes (you want the best Z V6 sound these have to be part of your plan, far from cheap but so worth it) the invidia is quieter than the cobra but will sound just as good or even better on full chat whilst being a bit more civilised day to day, to finish the setup I'm looking at tomei expreme v2 exhaust manifolds. That would possibly be the best setup ever on a Z Tomei manifolds > motordyne art pipes > invidia Gemini Have you got a Z yet? It will be a entirely different level of car in every aspect to the VR6 and the VR is a good car imo
  21. Thanks all, just waiting on some photoshops to decide, will be mirrors but no spoiler I reckon, Harris the roof is already done Yeah she sounds crazy with my current setup, will be changed in the not to distant future though
  22. You forgot one vital area, a cotton bud with metal polish the clean the drivers door handle key hole Looks great, how an azure should look
  23. Cheers guys Martyn I bought the hexis vinyl and took it to them, was 80 for both parts, far cheaper than I was quoted elsewhere. Done a great job on it really pleased Pete I was thinking that the spoiler would stick it was just thinking that because the front and top have black maybe the rear needs something to tie it in aswell, I reckon il do the mirrors and go from there once I've seen photoshop pictures Nice subtle but different look the black has added, really like it
